#Relief and Renewed Mobility

[paxesoterica]

@adracat​ has made some really intriguing observations about allusions to Norse mythology in The Witch from Mercury, but it recently occurred to me there’s some connections to Greco-Roman mythology too, specifically the namesake of Suletta and Prospera’s surname, Mercury, and how mother and daughter are associated with his various attributes:

Traveller & Merchant: The family motto of “Move forward and gain two” is a mercantile mindset, one shared by mother and daughter (though it looks increasingly like Suletta won’t be renewing her subscription), and is further apt with Suletta being an immigrant from literally another planet and Prospera being a CEO.

Trickster: As Miorine and Shaddiq have both observed, Suletta’s too honest for this to apply, but it fits Prospera and her schemes like a glove.

Herdsman: Mercury’s association with farm animals, particularly goats, cattle, and chickens, is practically shouting about Suletta’s bond with Earth House and their animals.

Communicator: Developing communication skills, from what I’ve been told, is a recurring theme for Gundam protagonists in general, and is definitely one for Suletta in particular, and I’m looking forward to the payoff of Suletta learning how to effectively communicate.

Thief: This one might actually apply to Suletta in the future, depending on how she acquires her next mobile suit (Gundamjacking is also apparently a time-honored tradition of Gundam protagonists).

Psychopomp: Oddly enough, Prospera’s an inverse of this, since her goals seem to be the opposite of a psychopomp’s traditional duties. Conversely, depending on how the ending plays out, Suletta may turn out to be a more straightforward example (the only time Suletta will be straight anything, heh).

Also, I can’t help but feel that the open flaps of Suletta’s boots, and the tufts of hair she has sticking off to the side of her head, are meant to invoke the winged footwear and helmet traditionally associated with Mercury.

The left picture depicts official character art of Suletta Mercury, the protagonist of the anime Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury. The tufts of her hair sticking out to the sides of her head, and the unzipped flaps of her boots, are all circled in sky blue.

The right picture depicts the high relief sculpture Mercurius, which depicts the Roman god Mercury flanked by a goat on his left and a chicken on his right. The wings of his helmet and boots are all circled in sky blue. End ID.]

Cook Quest: First Course

The morning light, dappled by the leaves of the whisperingwood, fell upon the worn canvas awning of "The Traveling Stove." Anya, the team's fiery redhead of a chef, stretched with a groan, the click of her knuckles oddly satisfying in the quiet campsite.

Beside her, the ever-optimistic dwarf, Borin, hummed a tune as he sharpened his cleaver. "Another day, another quest for culinary glory!" he declared, his beard bristling with anticipation.

Their adventuring party wasn't your typical monster-slaying crew. Anya, Borin, along with Thyme, the nimble halfling forager, and Milo, the stoic mage with a knack for food preservation, were on a mission to collect the rarest ingredients and create the most legendary dishes the realm had ever known.

Today's quest: Whisperingwood truffles, rumored to impart a mystical umami flavor to any dish. The forest, however, was known to be guarded by territorial pixies with a hair-trigger temper. Thyme, armed with her trusty basket and a mischievous glint in her eye, was confident. "Leave it to me," she chirped, vanishing into the woods with the agility of a squirrel.

Anya prepped the mobile kitchen, a magical contraption that folded into a backpack but expanded into a marvel of culinary efficiency. Borin readied the cast iron pot, its seasoned surface gleaming with history. Milo, ever the pragmatist, buffed a shimmering orb – a magical refrigerator powered by his own mana.

The clinking of spoons against pots became their battle cry as they worked. Laughter mingled with the scent of woodsmoke as Anya wrestled with a particularly stubborn dough. Borin, ever the showman, juggled vegetables with practiced ease.

Just as the first rays of sunlight slanted through the trees, Thyme emerged, a triumphant grin on her face and a basket overflowing with the prized truffles. Relief washed over Anya, quickly replaced by a thrill of anticipation.

The following hours were a symphony of chopping, sizzling, and the murmur of satisfied sighs. The finished dish, a truffle and mushroom pot pie, was a masterpiece. A golden crust, flaky and inviting, encased a savory filling that sang with the essence of the forest.

As they devoured their creation, a warm contentment settled over them. They weren't slaying dragons or hoarding gold, but they were on a grand adventure nonetheless, one that filled their bellies and brought joy to others. With a shared smile, they knew that today, they were one step closer to achieving their culinary dream.

The success of the truffle pie fueled their determination. With renewed vigor, they packed up camp and set off deeper into the Whisperingwood, following rumors of a hidden waterfall guarded by a reclusive water nymph said to possess mystical herbs. The path was treacherous, thick with undergrowth and treacherous ravines. But Thyme, with her uncanny sense of direction, led them through the labyrinthine forest.

Just as exhaustion began to set in, they emerged into a clearing bathed in an ethereal glow. A magnificent waterfall cascaded down moss-covered rocks, its spray shimmering with rainbows. Beside it knelt a beautiful figure wreathed in mist, cradling a basket overflowing with herbs that shimmered with an otherworldly luminescence.

Russian forces would have benefitted enormously from a months-long cessation of hostilities or even relaxation of the demand for offensive operations.  Any such protracted operational or strategic pause would have given them time to reorganize, refit, and prepare for renewed offensive operations on much better terms.  Putin gave them no such time, instead whipping his generals to constant offensives that simply ground the remaining combat power of the Russian military into dust.  Putin did not allow his military to concentrate the mobilized reservists into coherent units that could be massed to achieve decisive battlefield effects, but instead demanded that they be hurled into combat piecemeal and unprepared, frittering away yet another opportunity to regain the initiative.  All these dynamics continue to this day—the Russian military is consuming combat power as fast as it can be generated and is trying to draw on a defense industrial base only slowly and haltingly creaking into gear and badly hampered by international sanctions.

The net effect of Putin’s bad decisions has been to reduce Russia’s effective combat power to a level far below what Russia could in principle generate.  Russia’s military weakness is thus very likely temporary.  As soon as the fighting stops the Russian military can begin to reconstitute itself.  Lessons can be learned.  Bad organization can be rectified.  Its defense industry can start to come online and replace essential kit, especially if sanctions are lifted even partially—and it is very hard to imagine Putin accepting any ceasefire that does not include some significant sanctions relief.  Conscription and training systems can be improved.  Russia can start to generate the kind of military power its population, industrial base, and military organization have the potential to produce.

they do have a point here I think

WGHP FOX8 Greensboro: Winston-Salem sells historic homes for $1 to ensure preservation of African American history

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (WGHP) — A historic community in the Piedmont Triad is a step closer to preservation. Triad Cultural Arts in Winston-Salem has been trying for 7 years to obtain the remaining shotgun houses in Happy Hill. This year, the Winston-Salem City Council helped them finally get them.

It’s been a challenge trying to preserve and protect Winston-Salem’s oldest African American community. Kayyum Allah has been living here since 1952 and has witnessed much of the neighborhood he knew turn into something different. The changes started long before Kayyum and his family moved in.

“I’ve seen a lot of changes, drastic changes,” Allah said.

“The challenges for Happy Hill date back to the early 1900s,” said Cheryl Harry, executive director of Triad Cultural Arts. “And it sort of started with the Duke power lines that were added in, actually taking out, removing what was known as the Schumann Plantation back then, where it became a home for an African American family here. So that home was totally erased from the landscape,” Harry said.

These shotgun houses date back to the 1900s. They were homes to black working-class families in Happy Hill.

“Shotgun houses became sort of an iconic symbol of freedom in the south. Enslaved people are freed, the finances are low because of a lot of injustices, so they tend to live in these shotgun, smaller dwellings, shotgun houses,” Harry said.

The city of Winston-Salem agreed to sell them to the Triad Cultural Arts Center for $1 so they can be restored and made into a historical museum. The council member over this district, Annette Scippio, said in a statement she is pleased the transfer of ownership is taking place.

“The Happy Hill area in the city of Winston-Salem is the most significant Historic area for African American life, yet openly hidden in the shadows for a century.

It was the site of the first human rights advocacy (186 years, in October 1836 17 slaves were emancipated and sponsored by Dr. Frederick Schumann to resettle in Liberia, West Africa); it was the location of the first education efforts for African Americans, (in 1867 the first school built by African Americans in partnership with Friends Association for Relief of Colored Freedmen on land given by the Salem Board of Trustees); it was the site of the first efforts toward economic mobility (in 1872, the Moravian Church provided platted land for homeownership for newly freed slaves, the first African American neighborhood in the city); and it was the site of the first public housing complex in the state of NC (1950; 488 units were built and operated by the Winston-Salem Housing Authority).

One would think that with such a rich history, our city, its residents, corporations and businesses would have significantly invested in this area, which has suffered the impact of segregation, urban renewal, dense poverty and general disenfranchisement. The two shotgun houses (last of 37 that were in the neighborhood in 1927) are symbols of the past and the emergence of investment in Happy Hill. Triad Cultural Arts has advocated for the preservation of these shotgun houses since 1999 with renewed interest in 2018. I am pleased the transfer of ownership is taking place and the buildings will be adapted to a strong public purpose focused on our local African American history.” Annette Scippio, Winston-Salem City Councilwoman, East Ward

“We see the shotgun house project as part of a larger effort in the restoration and preservation of this historic community. We think that it will only enhance efforts that are already here that the Happy Hill Neighborhood Association are working on,” Harry said.

“Just as you have in Old Salem all of the artifacts, all of the structures in Old Salem that were established hundreds of years ago, they still stand today as a testament to the history and the culture of those people that established them. So Happy Hill is also deserving of that kind of recognition. Our history deserves to be preserved,” Allah said.

As a long-time resident of Happy Hill, Kayyum is hoping all of Winston-Salem will see the benefit of this arrangement.

“No matter what race you are you can benefit from having knowledge of history and culture that’s right in your presence and Happy Hill is full of it,” Allah said.

Once the sale of the homes is complete, Triad Cultural Arts will start the process of restoring the shotgun houses.

Our TMJ massage technique at Touch of Sam is tailored to release this specific type of tension, providing significant relief to those suffering from TMJ dysfunction.

Expecting mothers who visit us feel nurtured, rejuvenated, and more at ease, as they continue their pregnancy journey with a sense of comfort and tranquility.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage for Enhanced Well-Being Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a specialized technique that encourages the flow of lymph fluid throughout the body. This method is especially beneficial for individuals who experience swelling, such as post-operative patients or those with certain medical conditions. At Touch of Sam, our therapists use a gentle, precise touch to stimulate lymph flow, improving circulation and reducing water retention. MLD is known for its ability to enhance the immune response, alleviate discomfort from swelling, and promote a sense of calm relaxation.

The Best Herbs for Fall Wellness: Transitioning Your Body for Colder Days

As the cool breeze of autumn settles in, it’s time to transition our bodies to prepare for the changing seasons. Fall is a period of renewal, reflection, and preparation for the winter months. To stay balanced and healthy during this time, incorporating specific herbs into your daily routine can help strengthen your immune system, support digestion, and maintain overall wellness.

At Camlor Organics, we offer a variety of Jamaican-grown and organic herbs perfect for fall wellness. In today’s blog, we’ll explore some of the best herbs for supporting your body during this seasonal transition.

1. Ashwagandha: Stress Relief for Seasonal Change

As the season changes, our bodies can experience stress due to fluctuating temperatures, shorter days, and increased responsibilities often accompanying fall. Ashwagandha, an adaptogenic herb, is renowned for its ability to help the body manage stress and maintain balance. It can be particularly beneficial during the fall to reduce feelings of being overwhelmed and fatigued.

Benefits of Ashwagandha:

Reduces stress and anxiety

2. Turmeric: The Anti-Inflammatory Powerhouse

With the cooler weather comes the increased risk of inflammation, which can worsen joint pain, stiffness, and other inflammatory conditions. Turmeric is well-known for its powerful anti-inflammatory properties, thanks to its active compound, curcumin. Incorporating turmeric into your fall routine can help reduce inflammation and support overall health.

Benefits of Turmeric:

Reduces inflammation in the body

Supports joint health and mobility

Boosts immune system function

How to Use:

Make a soothing turmeric latte by mixing turmeric powder with warm almond or coconut milk, honey, and a pinch of black pepper.

Ginger is the perfect herb for fall, offering warmth and comfort while providing a significant boost to your immune system.

Benefits of Ginger:

Strengthens the immune system and fights off infections

Supports digestion and soothes upset stomachs

Acts as a natural anti-inflammatory

How to Use:

Sip on a hot cup of ginger tea made by steeping fresh ginger in hot water with lemon and honey.

Incorporate fresh or powdered ginger into fall dishes like soups, stews, or baked goods.

4. Sage: The Herb of Protection and Clarity

Sage has a long history of use for its cleansing and protective properties, both physically and energetically. It’s commonly used to support respiratory health and digestion, making it ideal for fall when seasonal colds and flu tend to spread. Sage also helps with mental clarity, making it a great herb for supporting focus and concentration during busy fall days.

Benefits of Sage:

Supports respiratory health and soothes sore throats

Improves digestion and reduces bloating

Enhances mental clarity and cognitive function

How to Use:

Brew a cup of sage tea to ease digestion and boost your immune system.

Use dried sage for smudging to cleanse your space and promote positive energy during seasonal transitions.

5. Elderberry: Cold and Flu Protection

As the days get shorter and temperatures drop, cold and flu season begins. Elderberry is one of the most potent herbs for protecting your body against these seasonal illnesses. Packed with vitamin C and antioxidants, elderberry can help boost your immune system, reduce the severity of colds, and speed up recovery.

Benefits of Elderberry:

Boosts the immune system and fights infections

Shortens the duration of colds and flu

Supports respiratory health

How Knee Braces Give Dogs a Second Chance at Mobility

It was a bright Saturday morning when Lucy, a spirited two-year-old Labrador Retriever, bounded into the yard, her tail wagging like a flag in the wind. But as she tried to leap over a small mound of dirt, she landed awkwardly and let out a yelp. Her owner, Sarah, rushed over to find Lucy limping and favoring her left hind leg. After a visit to the veterinarian, the diagnosis was a torn ACL—an injury that could sideline her for months. Heartbroken at the thought of Lucy’s active lifestyle coming to a halt, Sarah learned about dog knee braces and how they could provide her pup a second chance at mobility.

Understanding the Impact of Dog Knee Braces

Knee braces for dogs are becoming increasingly recognized as a vital tool in helping our furry companions regain their mobility after injuries, surgeries, or chronic conditions. These braces are designed to stabilize the knee joint, providing essential support that reduces pain and encourages healing.

1. A Boon for Injured Dogs

For dogs like Lucy who suffer from knee injuries, a dog knee brace can significantly impact recovery. According to a study published in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, approximately 1 in 3 dogs will develop some form of knee injury in their lifetime. This alarming statistic highlights the need for effective solutions like knee braces.

The right brace can support the healing process by stabilizing the knee joint and preventing further damage. After a few weeks of wearing her brace, Lucy was able to run and play again, much to Sarah’s relief.

2. Enhancing Post-Surgical Recovery

Knee braces are not just for preemptive care; they also play a critical role post-surgery. Dogs undergoing surgical procedures for ACL repairs often need additional support during their recovery. Research indicates that dogs that use knee braces after ACL surgery recover about 30% faster than those who do not use them (Veterinary Orthopedic Society).

By providing that extra layer of stability, dog braces help dogs like Lucy regain confidence in their movements, allowing them to gradually return to their active lives without the fear of re-injury.

3. Supporting Aging and Arthritic Dogs

Not all dogs are recovering from acute injuries. Many older dogs suffer from arthritis, which can severely limit their mobility and overall quality of life. In fact, about 20% of dogs over the age of one experience arthritis symptoms, according to the American Animal Hospital Association.

Knee braces can alleviate the discomfort associated with arthritis by providing support that reduces strain on the joint. As Sarah noticed with Lucy, the brace allowed her to walk more comfortably, making it easier for her to engage in activities she once loved.

4. The Psychological Boost

It’s not just the physical benefits that knee braces offer; they can also provide a significant psychological boost. Dogs are sensitive creatures, and they can become anxious when their mobility is impaired. Using a knee brace for dogs helps restore a sense of security and confidence, allowing them to engage in normal activities without hesitation.

Sarah observed a marked change in Lucy’s behavior. Once shy and hesitant to join in play, Lucy began to trot around the yard with her tail held high again, showing a renewed zest for life.

Choosing the Right Dog Knee Brace

When selecting a knee brace for your dog, it’s crucial to consider a few factors:

Fit and Comfort: A well-fitted brace should allow your dog to move comfortably without restriction. Always consult with your veterinarian for sizing recommendations.

Material Quality: Look for braces made from breathable, durable materials that can withstand active use while providing adequate support.

Consultation with Professionals: A veterinary or canine rehabilitation specialist can help determine the best type of brace for your dog’s specific needs and injuries.

Conclusion: A New Lease on Life

Thanks to her knee brace, Lucy was able to enjoy life to the fullest once again. She raced through the yard, explored new trails on walks, and played fetch with Sarah, all while staying safe and supported.

Knee braces have proven to be invaluable for many dogs, providing not just physical support but also a renewed sense of confidence and joy. For any dog owner facing the heart-wrenching challenge of mobility issues, a dog knee brace can indeed give your furry friend a second chance at life.

By taking proactive steps to protect and support their joints, we can ensure our dogs remain happy and active companions for years to come.

Massage Therapy for Seniors: Promoting Flexibility and Joint Mobility with Massage Practitioners such as Eliot Ferrer

As individuals age, maintaining flexibility and joint mobility becomes increasingly important for overall health and quality of life. One effective approach to enhancing these aspects is massage therapy, which offers numerous benefits tailored to the needs of seniors. This holistic practice can alleviate discomfort, reduce stress, and promote relaxation, making it an invaluable addition to senior wellness programs. This blog will explore the various advantages of massage therapy for seniors, highlighting its impact on flexibility, joint mobility, pain relief, circulation, mental well-being, and overall quality of life.

Enhancing Flexibility

One of the most significant benefits of massage therapy for seniors is its ability to enhance flexibility. As people age, their muscles and connective tissues naturally become stiffer, leading to reduced range of motion and increased discomfort. Massage therapy helps counteract this stiffness by promoting relaxation and reducing tension in the muscles. Through techniques such as stretching and kneading, massage therapists like Eliot Ferrer help improve the elasticity of muscles, allowing seniors to regain and maintain their flexibility.

Moreover, improved flexibility is crucial for daily activities. Seniors with greater flexibility can perform simple tasks, such as bending down to tie their shoes or reaching for items on high shelves, with more ease and confidence. This increased range of motion can also reduce the risk of falls, a common concern among older adults. By incorporating regular massage therapy into their wellness routine, seniors can enjoy greater freedom of movement and enhance their overall quality of life.

Improving Joint Mobility

In addition to enhancing flexibility, massage therapy plays a vital role in improving joint mobility for seniors. As joints age, they may become stiff and painful, resulting in reduced mobility and an increased risk of injury. Regular massage therapy can alleviate joint discomfort by promoting the production of synovial fluid, which lubricates the joints and allows for smoother movement. This lubrication is essential for maintaining healthy joints and preventing degenerative conditions such as arthritis.

Furthermore, massage therapy can specifically target areas of tightness around the joints. By focusing on the muscles and connective tissues surrounding the joints, massage practitioners such as Eliot Ferrer help release tension, improve circulation, and promote healing. This targeted approach not only enhances joint mobility but also reduces inflammation and pain. Seniors who incorporate massage therapy into their self-care routine often find that they can move more freely and comfortably, allowing them to engage more fully in their daily activities.

Pain Relief

Chronic pain is a common issue for many seniors, often resulting from conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, or previous injuries. Massage therapy offers an effective non-invasive solution for managing pain. By manipulating the soft tissues of the body, massage therapists including Eliot Ferrer help alleviate muscle tension and promote relaxation, which can significantly reduce pain levels. Techniques such as deep tissue massage or trigger point therapy can target specific areas of discomfort, providing relief where it is most needed.

Additionally, massage therapy can stimulate the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers. This release not only helps to diminish pain but also promotes an overall sense of well-being. Many seniors report feeling more relaxed and less anxious after a massage, contributing to their overall comfort and quality of life. By addressing pain through massage therapy, seniors can experience enhanced physical functioning and a renewed sense of vitality.

Enhancing Circulation

Another significant benefit of massage therapy for seniors is its ability to enhance circulation. As individuals age, their circulation may become less efficient, leading to issues such as cold extremities, numbness, and fatigue. Massage therapy stimulates blood flow by encouraging vasodilation, the widening of blood vessels, which allows for improved oxygen and nutrient delivery to the tissues. This increased circulation can help combat feelings of fatigue and promote overall health.

Furthermore, enhanced circulation can aid in the recovery process from injuries or surgeries as noted by massage practitioners like Eliot Ferrer. Improved blood flow facilitates the removal of metabolic waste products, such as lactic acid, which can accumulate in muscles after physical activity. By incorporating regular massage therapy sessions, seniors can not only enhance their energy levels but also support their body’s natural healing processes, enabling them to maintain an active and healthy lifestyle.

Promoting Mental Well-Being

Massage therapy is not only beneficial for physical health; it also significantly contributes to mental well-being. Many seniors experience feelings of isolation, anxiety, or depression, which can negatively impact their overall quality of life. The soothing nature of massage promotes relaxation and reduces stress levels, allowing seniors to experience a sense of calm and tranquility. This relaxation response can be especially beneficial for those dealing with chronic pain or illness, as it helps alleviate emotional distress associated with these conditions.

In addition to reducing stress, massage therapy can foster a sense of connection and community. Many seniors benefit from the social interaction that occurs during therapy sessions, particularly in group settings or senior centers. This social engagement can combat feelings of loneliness and enhance overall emotional health.

Improving Overall Quality of Life

Ultimately, the cumulative benefits of massage therapy contribute to an improved overall quality of life for seniors. By enhancing flexibility, joint mobility, and circulation while reducing pain and promoting mental well-being, massage therapy empowers older adults to engage more fully in their daily activities as pointed out by massage therapists such as Eliot Ferrer. The ability to move freely and comfortably enables seniors to participate in hobbies, socialize with friends and family, and maintain their independence.

Massage therapy offers numerous benefits for seniors, significantly promoting flexibility and joint mobility while enhancing overall health and well-being. By addressing physical discomfort, improving circulation, and fostering mental relaxation, massage therapy can empower older adults to lead more active and fulfilling lives. As awareness of these benefits continues to grow, more seniors are incorporating massage therapy into their wellness routines, recognizing it as a vital component of their overall health. By embracing this holistic approach, seniors can enjoy a greater sense of vitality, comfort, and well-being as they age.
